Loren Ami learned to make pottery from Dextra Quotskuyva.  Each piece is coil built, stone polished and painted with native clay slips.  Loren said he entitled this seedpot, “Dance of the Ants”.  The ants encircle the seedpot and note how they alternate from being painted in red and the in black. The red top to the seedpot is the anthill.  The seedpot is traditionally fired, which creates the fire clouds.  This piece is signed on the bottom with his name and a spider design for the Spider Clan.  Loren is certainly one of the traditionalist Hopi-Tewa potters to watch.
